At the top of Niagara falls, in the middle of the river, is the wreck of a barge boat. It came to be there on a summer’s day in 1918 when two men, Gustave Lofberg & Frank Harris, came perilously close to plunging over the falls on it. They were dredging sand one mile upstream when a safety cable snapped and sent them adrift down the Niagara River. Nearby tugs raced to help but had to turn back helplessly as the boat entered ferocious rapids. Just hundreds of metres from the brink of the falls, the two men were preparing themselves for what was coming when suddenly a bump, a skid, a dragging sensation. Then nothing at all. The vessel miraculously grounded itself on a rocky shoal. Various attempts were made to rescue the men, but it wasn’t until sixteen hours later when a breeches buoy was finally set-up to take them off the barge. Everyone involved knew the rapids could have dislodged the boat at any moment, but to this today the boat remains exactly where it stopped almost a century ago. Someday though, when rust finally loosens it’s grip, it seems inevitable that the barge will complete it’s destined tumble over the falls #ExploreCanada #MyCanadianAffair @Explore Canada @airtransat #niagaraparks
